It's official! The match 33 between India and Canada has been abandoned due to the wet outfield at the Florida Stadium. That's all from us. Good night.
Skipper Rohit Paudel believes that Nepal has demonstrated their capability to compete at the highest level in the T20 World Cup, despite being eliminated from contention for the Super Eight round. "The way we played today shows that we belong here. Both our bowling and batting performances indicate that we belong at this level. This will boost our confidence for the next game against Bangladesh," Paudel told the media after Nepal's heartbreaking defeat.
Nepal narrowly missed out on securing its best-ever cricket victory, falling short by just one run against the formidable South African team. With two runs needed from the last ball to win, and one run to tie South Africa's modest total of 115-7 to force a Super Over, teenager Ghulsan Jha was run out at the non-striker's end while attempting a single on the final ball. As a result, South Africa clinched a thrilling match.
Well, one of the strong contenders for the title, India's neighbour and arch-rival Pakistan just couldn't play the cricket they are known for. Crashing out of the tournament on league stage, Pakistan won just one match. However, India's other neighbour - Nepal - played some heart-stopping cricket earlier in the day. South African were almost out of the match and the Proteas won it by a whisker - 1 run to be exact. They may have won the match but Nepal won the hearts of all the cricket fans out there.

India's fielding coach, T Dilip, praised wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for his impressive performance since returning to international cricket following a life-threatening road accident in late 2022. "The best thing is that Rishabh has excelled in his comeback. His batting has been particularly commendable. Additionally, one of the standout aspects of his return is how well he has performed as a wicketkeeper."
